Makeover and hotel stay for 2 worth £3000

Be careful with Coverlook, they called me yesterday saying that i have won a pampering, photo shoot, hair and make up at london oxford studios. The guy said that he'd need £50.00 deposit (which will be refunded) in case I don't turn up and wanted my debit/credit card details on the phone. It is total scam, and lots of you guys will find out you are winners with them, but just be very careful. I have read somewhere they even put pressure on people to buy the pics when you're there, each pic being over £60...
I told the guy to ring back for the card details, and did my research...the guy tried to hassle as I did not respond. I expect they will probably try again, so I will have to send them packing.
It cannot be a proper prize...

Snap!!!
They phoned me last night too. I was really made up at the time but when he phoned me i was in the car on the motorway so i told him to phone back - it's a good job because i was really chuffed i'd won something and had i not been in the car on the motorway with no where to write details i'd have fallen right into the trap.
He's just tried to phone me back 3 times this afternoon and i haven't answered it yet - not sure what i'm going to say when i do answer it though!!!

If you don't answer they will try again. I have answered today saying I cannot make it to London, I won't give my card details on the phone, and therefore I'd prefer the prize to go to someone else. The guy did not insist, so I'm hoping they won't ring again.

I've just had a cal from them too. I wouldn't give my card details (mostly due to the lack of funds in my bank ATM)
Now I know it's a scam, i'll be telling that girl to chimp off when she calls back after payday.
Boo ! I thought it was too good to be true.
